Outage in Stayton? Your generator starts itself

Automatic power for your Stayton home

A whole-house standby generator starts on its own when the power fails in Stayton, runs your home, and shuts off when the grid comes back. An automatic transfer switch is the brain of the system. It senses the outage, isolates your house from the grid, and starts the generator for you.

These are permanent Generac standby units, not portables, matched to the loads you want covered.

Typical loads on a standby generator

• Appliances: fridge, freezer, stove, and laundry.
• Lights and electronics: lighting, TVs, computers, and the home office.
• Critical equipment: medical devices and sump pumps.
• Comfort: heating and cooling through the whole outage.

We match the generator to the loads you want covered at the free quote, using your panel as the guide.

Choosing your fuel

If you live in Stayton, natural gas or propane: those are the two options, and we help you pick the one that suits your property. Without natural gas, we install a propane tank for the generator.

Either fuel gives you a permanent system with no manual starting.

Why standby beats portable

Around Stayton, with a portable generator you do the work during the outage. With a standby generator, the system does it for you.

For a Stayton home that wants the whole house covered, a standby unit is the cleaner answer: no cords through windows, no refueling at night, and the right size for your loads.

Placement, fuel, and size are decided with you at the free consultation, before any work starts.

What happens after you call

The path to standby power in Stayton is four steps: design, permit, installation, and commissioning.

1. Consultation and design: a free visit to look at your loads, your panel, and where it will sit.
2. Permitting and paperwork: the permit and paperwork are ours.
3. Installation: our electricians set the unit, connect the fuel, and wire the transfer switch.
4. Activation and support: we test it, show you how it works, and support you afterward.

Oregon requires a permit for a backup generator, and we file it for you.

Our own licensed electricians do the wiring, the transfer switch, and the final hookup, and we review your panel at the free quote so nothing surprises you later.
